Chapter 420: Professional Mission, Incredible Rewards

Chapter 420: Professional Mission, Incredible Rewards
Hidden Moon Follows the Wind:
Hello, fellow Taoist. I am the demon refiner from Canglinzhou.

I recently heard that Fengyin Prefecture had produced a Qi-refining master who was able to move and transform himself using magical powers. I knew then that I was no longer alone.

I believe that fellow Daoist has already understood that this Qi-refining technique has already reached a dead end and there is no way to make progress. The only way forward is to find another way.

Although this technique of refining monsters is not the right way, it is also quite mysterious. Practicing it for a long time can not only make oneself stronger, but also eliminate monsters and eliminate evil spirits, thus eliminating the evil spirits in the world. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

I thought I was the only one who had mastered this wonderful method, but I never imagined that there were people who shared the same belief. I am very comforted to hear your story.

As a senior, I have the responsibility to guide the younger generations, so I leave this letter.

I have been practicing the art of sorcery for thousands of years and have gained a lot of experience. If you are interested in learning and practicing the Dao, you can come and meet me.

However, to prove your sincerity, I have three things for you to do. You can choose one of them to complete. If you do it well, I will give you a bright future. As for which path to choose, it is up to you.

Demon Refiner: Qin Shou]

Xiao Jie was surprised. He didn't expect that the demon refiner had a predecessor. It seemed that this demon refining technique was not created by Hongchen Zhenren.

Come to think of it, the Demon Refining Gourd in Hongchen Zhenren's hand was also given to him by someone else.

Judging from Qin Shou's tone, this person's strength must be strong. After all, to become a demon refiner one must first have the inheritance of a Qi refiner, and a Qi refiner who can survive to this day must be strong.

Maybe he is an old monster from the same era as Hongchen Zhenren.

Since it is a professional task, it must be done. I just don’t know what kind of reward this professional task can give.

Generally speaking, the higher the level of the professional task, the better the reward. The demon refiner is a legendary profession, so the reward will definitely not be bad.

Xiao Jie continued to look at the attachment in the letter. After clicking it, an options bar immediately popped up in front of him.

[System prompt: Trigger the demon refiner professional task. Please choose one of the following three professional tasks. Note: Players can only choose one professional task. Abandoned tasks cannot be reselected. Please choose carefully.]

【Task 1: The demon’s blood is boiling.】

Mission content: I recently discovered the secret of the difference in blood between humans and monsters. Humans can transform into monsters, and monsters can transform into humans. It can be seen that humans and monsters are of the same origin, but for some reason they have embarked on different paths.

If we can trace back to the source, perhaps we can permanently transform the nature of the race. I have done some research on this.

As long as there are enough materials, humans can be permanently transformed into monsters. Humans are originally the species of Tao, and are the best race for becoming immortals. However, the path to immortality has long been cut off, and how can the cowardly humans compare to the strength of monsters.

If you want to transform into a demon, please collect the following materials and send them to me.

The demon king's inner elixir (core material), one each of thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, thousand-year-old ginseng, demon star exotic fruit, and five elements essence.

Mission Reward: Race Transformation to - Demon Race. You can completely transform your bloodline into a demon race, and obtain the demon race's exclusive innate magic and innate transformation. The innate transformation ability you obtain can be upgraded, and your magic casting level is +1. 】

【Task 2: Monster evolution.】

Mission content: The demon refiner not only practices demon magic, but also practices the art of transformation. Although he can unlock the corresponding form by absorbing the essence of demon beasts, he can often only transform into an ordinary wild beast.

It's probably because you don't know the right method. If you want to transform into a powerful monster, you must first understand the monster. Only when you have thoroughly understood the source of the monster's power, can you change freely.

If you have a deep enough understanding of monsters, you can upgrade your beast incarnation to a monster incarnation. To do this, you must complete the following requirements.

1. Obtain the "Beast Encyclopedia: Monster Encyclopedia" and collect ten or more monster encyclopedias.

2. Tame a monster.

3. Learn the magic arts of at least three kinds of monsters.

Once you have completed these three, you can come to Canglin Province to find me, and I can teach you the method of evolving monsters.

Mission Reward: Monster Refiner's exclusive skill - Monster Evolution. You can upgrade the beast transformation you master to a monster transformation, and your beast transformation ability will be reborn and evolved. 】

【Mission 3: Demon Slayer Master.】

Mission content: As a demon refiner, you must kill demons in order to collect enough demon inner cores. Demons are evil creatures in the world, and demon refiners also have the responsibility to kill them.

I have traveled the world for thousands of years and slain countless demons. During this process, I successfully refined a perfect set of martial arts.

This set of internal skills was created by me based on the appearance of all monsters. Humans have always had the habit of using beasts as their teachers to create martial arts skills, and this set of skills is the most supreme among them.

If you want to learn this technique, I can teach you, but you must first prove your determination to slay demons and eliminate evil.

Please bring me three demon king heads of different types, and I will grant you magical powers.

Beast King Head: 0/1.

Bird Demon King Head: 0/1.

Water Demon King’s Head: 0/1.

Mission Reward: Peerless Divine Art - Wanxiang Divine Art. This peerless divine art was created with the appearances of all monsters. It is difficult for ordinary people to practice it, but it is twice as effective with half the effort for monster refiners. 】

After reading it, Xiao Jie was immediately overjoyed. Damn, the rewards for these tasks are quite impressive.

Race conversion, exclusive skills, and peerless magical powers.

Wow, this is a bit enviable.

It can be said that these three rewards are quite powerful. Compared with the previous mission rewards for beast tamers and qi cultivators, they are completely on a different level.

But it is not difficult to understand. After all, the Demon Refiner is a legendary profession and a fusion of the first two professions.

However, Xiao Jie was a little confused about how to choose.

Thinking for a long time——

Racial conversion was ruled out first. Although this reward seemed to be the strongest in the short term, I could choose a powerful demon race to convert, such as the Jiaolong race, or even the Dragon race. However, I wanted to become an immortal, and I couldn't give up being a human being for short-term benefits.

After all, the human race is the most suitable for cultivating immortals. Although I am now a demon refiner and feel a little bit like a non-human, I can still be considered a human being in essence. If I change my race, there will be no hope at all.

Not to mention that Feng Buqi had told him his fortune before, and said that there was a demon star blocking his way... He wouldn't have time to dodge, and he couldn't just crash into it.

Xiao Jie was very excited about the rewards for the second and third tasks.

One can transform all wild beasts into monster beasts, so that his wolf and eagle can directly obtain super evolution.

Not to mention that there will definitely be more shapeshifting spells in the future. Every shapeshifting spell mastered is equivalent to making a profit.

The beast transformed into a monster in his hands, turning decay into magic.

Some not-so-useful shapeshifting spells can also be used, and the exclusive magic of different races alone is worth the price of the money.

Although the dragon transformation is very powerful, it has too many limitations and can only be used once a day. Normal combat definitely still requires some regular transformation abilities.

Otherwise, I can't always carry a knife into every battle. After all, I am a noble wizard now, and I must have the awareness of a wizard. It would be too shameful to do so.

Not to mention the peerless magical skills, the word "peerless" alone says it all.

This set of Wanxiang Divine Art should be internal energy. The peerless internal energy combined with the peerless swordsmanship is simply the pinnacle of the physics department.

After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Jie finally chose the second task. The reason was that the evolution of monsters was a magical task, and no matter how good the magic skills were, they could not escape the scope of physics.

I will definitely choose the magic route in the future, after all, the upper limit is higher. Although the Wanxiang Divine Art is good, I can only give it up with pain.

And there is another advantage to this second task, which is that I have actually completed two and a half of the three task objectives given.

He had already unlocked the Monster Encyclopedia a long time ago, and he unlocked more than a dozen Monster Encyclopedias during his trip to Canglin Prefecture.

Taming a monster——Isn’t Daju a monster?

There were only three innate magic arts that he had not yet mastered - but he was almost there. He had already mastered the two innate magic arts, the walking dragon art and the crouching tiger stone shape art. He only needed to learn one more and he would be done.

Choosing this task to do can be said to be twice the result with half the effort and it is the easiest to complete. With the talent of learning from beasts, the last one is also quite easy to complete.

After thinking it over, Xiao Jie decisively accepted the task.

[System prompt: Accept the task - Monster Evolution.]

Just as I was thinking about where to start the task, suddenly, a private message appeared in the message bar.

I Want to Become an Immortal: Brother Feng, you are online! Are you home yet?
Yin Yue Sui Feng: We’re home.

I Want to Become an Immortal: If you have time, please help me with the quest. I will be 30 soon, and it will be too late if I don’t do it now. I can only leave it to fate. Although I feel I can almost advance to a giant, I still hope to be safe.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: No problem, I’ll take you there in a moment.

Unexpectedly, just after I agreed, another message popped up.

Ye Luo: Suifeng, are you there? I am preparing to complete my professional tasks. Do you want to join me?

Xiao Jie thought it was such a coincidence and quickly sent a message to Ye Luo.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: Then let’s go together. I have to become an immortal too, and I have a mission to accomplish myself. Let’s gather first.

Half an hour later, Xiao Jie, Ye Luo and Wo Yuchengxian gathered in the tavern in Luoyang Town.

It's been a while since the three of them have acted together alone, and the others are all busy with their own things. Today is not an activity time, so it's a good opportunity for them to complete their professional tasks together.

"Let's do Sister Ye Luo's task first. Mine can wait a while." I am very gentlemanly when I want to become an immortal. I am still being humble even at this time.

Xiao Jie looked at the two of them. They were both level 29, and their experience points were about to be upgraded.

"Okay, let's get started. Ye Luo, what does your mission require? How can we help?"

"You just watch. Actually the mission has been completed. Now the only step left is to submit the task." Ye Luo said calmly, but there was a hint of excitement in his tone.

"In fact, it's all thanks to you."

The professional mission of the Impermanence Walker is actually the main job of this profession, and it is also a prerequisite for starting the next stage of the profession.

Wuchang Xingzhe is the spy and minion sent by King Yama to the world of the living, so his job is to serve King Yama.

The first task is to walk in the world of the living and guide the souls of the dead on behalf of the King of Hell.

The second task is to accumulate a lot of merit, the more the better. After all, the impermanence walker is wandering between life and death. As the saying goes, people and ghosts have different paths. If you want to go further, you must have a lot of merit. As for what's the use of it——

Task three is to kill three powerful ghosts that are not under the jurisdiction of the Rock King in order to scare the undead in the world.

Originally, the third task was the most difficult to complete. The ghosts that needed to be killed were elites, BOSS, and leader-level BOSS. However, thanks to Xiao Jie's several large-scale activities in Ghost Mist Ridge during this period, especially the elimination of the four ghost generals the day before yesterday, it can be said that the task was completed in excess.

Now Ye Luo can finally start reporting on his work. There is only one last step left. Once the handover is completed, he will be promoted.

The three of them came to the wild and found a place where there was no one around. Xiao Jie and I, Yu Chengxian, stood aside to monitor the situation, while Ye Luo drew out the Xuanming Sword.

"Life and death are unpredictable. One sword separates yin and yang. The road of life and death in the netherworld is the same from now on - open!"

Secret combat skill - guidance from the impermanence!
As the sword was swung out, the air twisted and a dark portal to the underworld appeared.

Just then, a ghost slowly emerged from the pitch-black ghost gate.

However, unlike the wild monsters under the Netherworld Ghost King, this ghost soldier is a green-named unit.

The ghost soldier bowed first, "Master Wuchang Xingzhe, what is the matter with summoning me?"

Ye Luo said calmly: "I have completed all the tasks that King Yan gave me. Today I will hand over the tasks. Please inform the Judge on my behalf."

"Oh, I understand. I'll go right away." After saying that, the ghost turned his head and went back.

After a short while, the Ghost Gate was squeezed wider, and a dark-faced man with a big belly, a murderous look, and wearing the official robe of the underworld walked out.

Luo Xiaochuan (Judge of the Underworld): Level 52. HP: 9800.

Xiao Jie's heart tightened and he subconsciously took a defensive stance. Fortunately, he immediately discovered that the other party was a yellow-named neutral unit.

The judge didn't even look at the two of them, but looked directly at Ye Luo.

"So you want to report for promotion?"

"That's right. I am Ye Luo, the Impermanent Walker. I have lived up to the trust of the King of Hell and am reporting to you for your duties."

"Well, let me check it out." The judge took out a roll of merit book and began to calculate repeatedly.

"Well, it is completed, Ye Luo, the Impermanence Walker. You have done a great job for the King of Hell and killed four rebellious ghost generals. You have many merits and can be a role model for the Impermanence. You have guided thousands of dead souls, which is even more remarkable.

I will use the authority granted by the King of Hell to promote you and assign you to a higher position.

Let me ask you, Ye Luo, do you plan to go a step further and continue to serve under the King of Hell?"

"Right on my mind."

"Well, let me see what position I can give you. Well, I have it - just listen carefully.

With your qualifications and achievements, there are three jobs available for you. You can choose carefully.

The first one: Venerable Wuchang.

The so-called impermanence of life and death has a predetermined number. If the King of Hell wants you to die at three o'clock in the morning, your soul cannot remain until five o'clock. The Venerable Wuchang is the chief officer of impermanence.

If you take on this assignment, you will be taught the skills of seducing souls and controlling ghosts.

Second: The deacon of the underworld.

It is said that heaven and earth are unfair, except for life and death. There are many corrupt officials in the world, but the underworld is impartial and just. The deacon of the underworld is the arm of the judge.

This assignment will teach you how to decide life and death, and reward the good and punish the evil.

Third: The Yellow Springs Envoy.

The so-called Yellow Spring water is where souls return to, the Styx has never changed since the beginning of time. Yellow Spring is the root of the underworld and the source of the Styx. Yellow Spring emissaries are not subject to the jurisdiction of anyone and are only responsible for the duty of reincarnation of life and death.

If you take on this assignment, you will be taught the art of connecting life and death, and yin and yang.

Ye Luo, choose the job you want to do.
